Vitamin D

What is Vitamin D?

A fat-soluable vitamin responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and many other biological effects. 

Why do we take Vitamin D?

It helps the body absorb and retain calcium and phosphorus, both critical for building bone. Vitamin D can also reduce cancer cell growth, help control infections and reduce inflammation. Many people tend to be deficient, especially in the winter months. 

Supplement Recommendation

Sun is always best! But if supplementation is still needed, Vitamin D is absorbed 8 times better topically vs orally. 

Earthley- A reputable company who specializes in herbal remedies and creating a pure and clean product has a great vitamin D cream.

How to incorporate into daily life

Rub lotion into fat-rich area to increase Vitamin D absorption.  **Cod liver oil is also a great source of Vitamin D and is listed under Vitamin A.
